Objectives: The aim of the present study was to investigate the volumetric abrasive wear of a high-viscosity glass ionomer cement (hvGIC; Equia Fil) and a glass hybrid restorative system (ghRS; Equia Forte), each being recommended as amalgam alternatives. Both materials were applied with or without their respective resinous coating, and were compared with a conventional GIC (Ketac Fil) and a hybrid composite resin (CR; G-ænial Posterior).
Methods: 78 standardized occlusal Class I cavities were restored with the various materials (n = 13 per group). Before and after chewing simulation (30,000 cycles at 40 N), each sample underwent optical scanning procedures (Omnicam). A comparison of the total wear using a fluorescence-aided identification technique (OraCheck) followed, and differences (α = 5%) between groups were compared by means of MANOVA.
Results: Regarding the wear rates of hvGIC and ghRS, no differences could be observed (p > .050), and this was not affected by the resinous coating. All hvGIC and ghRS restorations showed significantly higher abrasive wear than CR (p < .001), while the conventional GIC displayed a significant underperformance compared with any other material (p < .001).
Conclusions: Resinous coating of hvGIC or ghRS does not appear to exert an effective long-term protection against advanced abrasive wear. Compared to the conventional GIC showing a considerable substance loss, both hvGIC and ghRS materials revealed an improved abrasion resistance, but clearly failed to meet the excellent values of the CR.
Clinical Significance: Occlusal loading should be carefully considered when using hvGIC or ghRS as amalgam (or composite resin) alternatives for the restoration of posterior teeth.

Article Synopsis
- The study focuses on the effects of different application methods on the hardness and bond strength of various restorative dental materials, specifically bulk-fill resin and glass ionomer.
- Researchers used Teflon molds and human molar teeth to conduct tests on the materials’ microhardness and shear bond strength after applying treatment methods such as preheating and ultrasonic activation.
- Results indicated that preheating reduced bond strength in flowable bulk-fill composite resin but increased it in reinforced high-viscosity glass ionomer, suggesting that application techniques significantly impact material properties.

The objective was to address the repercussion of adding titanium dioxide nanotubes (TiO-nt) into high-viscosity conventional glass ionomer cement (GIC) on the biological properties of pre-odontoblastic cells (MDPC-23) challenged by lipopolysaccharides (LPS - 2 μg/mL). TiO-nt was added to Ketac Molar EasyMix at 3, 5, 7 %, whereas unblended GIC served as control. Analyses included proliferation (n=6; 24, 48, 72 h), metabolism (MTT; n=6; 24, 48, 72 h); morphology laser microscopy (n=3; 24, 48, 72 h); proteome assessments IL-1β, IL-6, IL-10, VEGF, TNF-α (n=3; 12, 18 h); mRNA levels (RT-PCR) of Il-1β, Il-6, Il-10, VEGF, TNF-α (n=3; 12, 18 h) and DSPP (n=3; 24, 72, 120 h).

Article Synopsis
- In 2017, Europe banned the use of amalgam fillings for children under 15 and pregnant/breastfeeding women, creating a demand for better alternative materials.
- This study tested the surface roughness of five different amalgam-replacement materials using six finishing techniques across three time points, involving 960 samples made from 3D-printed molds.
- Results showed that conventional and hybrid glass-ionomer cements had smoother surfaces than high-viscosity alternatives, with some materials demonstrating stable roughness over time, emphasizing the need for careful selection of finishing methods.
